I had one of these as a kid and i believe the weird handling is down to the handlebars/forks being at an angle facing forwards. The fat tire and long wheel base doesn't seem help matters either. I sold my chopper as i was outgrowing the novelty, but i sold it to the best person, a guy who was known around town for his loud motorized bikes, but he only had your usual mountain bikes. Until snow was on the ground you could hear some small 2 stroke in the distance just begging for mercy just about every day lol
On my oc chopper build I swapped the front from a 24" to a 29"x3 on the front with the negative trail on the fork it's more stable and brings the length to 77 inches front to rear also it adds a negative rake giving us tall dudes a lean back position
I cracked up so hard at the end of the video when you impersonated the dad of Orange Co Choppers..... I'm still laughing! Thank you and your kind family.
That thing is gangster! Haha I searched for electric chopper cuz I had the idea of modding mine with ape hangers cuz I'm tall and have a bad back, and shocker, it was another one of you vids. That thing's dope!! You ever put apes on a folding ebike or regular ebike? Call her Eazy-E! For Easy Rider (chopper movie), + E-bike, and one of the best OG rappers ever!
@@DavidBrandNew 😂 get outta my head, I'm watching his vids right now. Haha. Is he the same height as u or shorter? I asked him in his comments, so hopefully he'll answer. Your video clip he included in his video of you riding the Lectric sitting straight up looks goofy AH 🤣 That's the whole reason I started down this path, gotta look cool too, so thanks again! ✌️
lol that part in the beginning was funny "previously on davidbrandnew" like the voice. Super clean build I like the controller bag. Dang though your getting good at these mods, the back disk break setup it some nice engineering.OMG that Orange County Chopper bit had me rolling! "What do you guys think do I fit in? Can I join the gang?" Dude best laugh I had in a while! Great build and I think her name should be "Rhonda the chopper" But "Rhonda" for short.
I'm also converting one of these into a hub motor e bike. 🤘 Doing a bit more work on her to make my build look like a miniaturized chopper (headlight, brakelight, blinkers, bags & windshield) but I like how stock you kept yours. 🤙
Use code AMP20OFF for just the stem and get the bars and bmx stem from Amazon. I would love for you to try it out www.davidbrandnew.com/store/p/turtle-neck-stem-fx
Any issues with the dropout being different size than the motor. I'm supposed to be getting a 175mm 1000w geared Bafang Hub motor, allegedly it's been held up in customs for the last month. I'm going to attempt to mounted it on a Fat Tire Bike with a 190mm dropout. I'm wondering if it's going to be a bigger issue than I think.
Could possibly be an issue aligning the rear disc brake. Normally the hub motor is to big for the bikes drop out. Theres always a way to make it work. You just gotta get creative. But then again it might fit perfectly fine.
David, Nice job looks clean. I have the same bought new been sitting in garage for years, very low use. can you list the disk brake components you used to upgrade with? Be a nice repurpose of a wall hanging bike to convert to eBike.
The front end handles like that because there is 0 trail on the front end, if you check the contact patch of the front wheel its pretty much in a direct line from the head tube, ie, zero trail, if it had some positive or negative trail then as you ride the front wheel would get pulled straight, but as it is, it just flops around like yours does. Different forks with straight trees (OCC ones are offset) should give it some trail, its on my list of things to try.
Looks very clean! I actually just acquired the same bike and colorscheme and am in need of upgrading the handlebars. Where did you buy those ape hangers?
Man, you gotta move that battery all the way up, spin it around and paint it the same red color. Then it'd look just like a gass tank. Other than that, I love that bike. You did a great job.
Wow that's pretty cool awesome video it looks great next to them other bikes I actually had an original stingray back in the 60s love that bike I would name that The Devil's Sprocket👍👍!!
"You cant ride no hands" **Flashbacks to the time i tried no-hands on my Schwinn chopper as kid** I still have no clue why i thought it would be a good idea to try it first time while going down hill lol
Fuckin sweet machine man! There was a dude on Craigslist selling an electric converted stingray scooter for $300 I’m such an idiot I should have just fuckin bought it. Would be so dope to ride it through downtown and troll the fools riding the bird and lime scooters
@@DavidBrandNew I wonder how much shipping would be? probably almost as much as the bike lol. maybe I'll just come get it and ride it the 2800 miles home
Can you please make a video for the parts for this build? I wanna build this exact thing
Hey, did you ever figure it out?
Cool little chopper. Nice and clean. Me likey!
Thanks!
Where can i get those exact handle bars?
I found them on offerup

Nice job man! i recently done this to my stingray and it is cool to see other people with the same bike modding it to how they like it, awesome job 👏
David...you are incredible!!!!
Thanks!! 😊
I am grudgingly admitting that this silly machine is pretty darn slick!
😂😂 thanks
@@DavidBrandNew where did you get the handle bars from?
@@Oddball159 the offerup app
@@DavidBrandNew do they fit the stock mounts or do i have to modify them to fit?
Its silent. You can get off and walk with it with ease. You can take trails or paths with it.
I mean. Its a great horse

Should be named, 'The Banger', because the joint is all about banger videos!!!!
You already know the joint is a banger 👊🏽
I'm also converting one of these into a hub motor e bike. 🤘
Doing a bit more work on her to make my build look like a miniaturized chopper (headlight, brakelight, blinkers, bags & windshield) but I like how stock you kept yours. 🤙
if you managed to get your brakes mounted and working how did you do it? The brakes are the one thing thats got my whole project grounded
Dude I did this with a 3000w kit goes 50mph

Where did you get the kit? I’ve got a few motorized ones but I’d like to do a e bike conversion
What was the universal adapter you used I see they come in two sizes?
thats badass dude! What handlebars did u get? remeber what brake line le gth u needed?
Awesome idea!
Brand New idea David !
Love it!
Keep it up!
Thank you
Please the brake disc mount can you post the link?
David need subscribers. He my favorite e-'rodder! Those bikers were like 'Still better than a sportser!'
Hey did you find a motor with a 4.25 in rim or did you make that motor yourself
you can add spring forks or add spring levers to your forks..
Thats a good idea

@@RandyRides so far it's great. Just got the ND filters for it yesterday. I'm testing some manual settings with them at the moment.
Any kid would be happy to own that bike I would have if it was my first e-bike and bro your a funny dude 😄 👍🏾
Thanks bro. Yea its a fun bike that gets a lot of attention. I wish they had this stuff when I was a kid
did you keep the original single speed sprocket ?
where did you get the ape hangers?
Yo I'm out here in Temecula too, you think maybe you can help me build one? I have the bike
Which kit did u get I have same color bike and a west coast chopper
Its from a Lectric xp
Lol. This is dope! Got to love the ape hangers. Be cool if you could push the saddle back some. Dope build. You on it! Lol. Awesome edits.
What is the size of the rear disc brake?
What size kit motor did you go with..?
Love the video and the build. How about (The Electric Sting)
Thanks and thats a good one
Great Mr David please leave a link of partes,& motor.
It came off of a stock Lectric xp
whats the rang on it?
I have a Caterpillar edition Schwinn chopper I'm researching kits for it
Full blast probably 20miles
@@DavidBrandNew sounds good to me thanks
You had me at Old Town Temecula. I’m in the area. 😁
Looks very clean! I actually just acquired the same bike and colorscheme and am in need of upgrading the handlebars. Where did you buy those ape hangers?
Oh, and what size are they? Looks like 12 inches
I got them from offerup. Not sure the size. I don’t have it anymore
What kit is that cause I have the same chopper and I’m looking to convert it
Could I get a link of where I could buy it?
It cane from another ebike that I ended up upgrading. You can find kits on amazon or alibaba.
3:58 DED 😹
Where can I get it
Nice ride. I have mine motorized. I call her “Grace”. I do want to get a green chopper as well and make it electric.
Just bought one myself today, it's in a very bad shape, going to build it up soon.
What size was the Universal adaptor
?
Man, you gotta move that battery all the way up, spin it around and paint it the same red color. Then it'd look just like a gass tank. Other than that, I love that bike. You did a great job.
Another great laugh & build. How about the "Red Baron"
I like it! I’ll put out a poll and let the people decide
Hey David where did u get that thumb throttle, what kind is it? Cool bike, great video as usual
www.decod3d.com/product/ebike-thumb-throttle/

Yup that's it. I'm doing a mid mount on mine
That would be cool
You're doing very cool things. Just hit 1000 miles on my xp-1.
Nice and thank you 👊🏽
Hi David I was impressed. I wonder how much it will cost to convert the same exact bicycle to electronic? Thank you
It will cost you about $600 to buy the kit and battery.
@@DavidBrandNew can you link the kit!
I have a stingray it’s not a occ,you got me thinking! How bout E Ray? don’t run into any birds with her. lol
